FLAMES ON THE WATER :!
ELEVEN LIVES SACRIFICED THROUGH
 SHEER COWARDICE.

The Steamer San Vicente Burned to the
 Waters Edge-The Panic-stricken Crew
 Refuse to Obey Orders-Rescue of the
 Survivors.
 s SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.-Ths steamer San Vicente, owned by the Pacific Stean:- ship company, was burned to the waters edge Tuesday night about forty-five miles south of San Francisco in the Pacific ocean. The crew became terror stricken and lost to all order and discipline. As soon as the port boat touched the water the engineers. fremen, purser, cook and waiter and num- Der of seamen, it is impossible to determine how many, sprang into 1t and pushed if into the darkness. When the starboard boat was lowered the remainder of the crew made rush for it. While it wasyet hanging from the davits the tackle that hell it burned away, and the boat with its human Lur- den dropped into the waves It swamped immediately, leaving the seamen stru sglng in the water. Cept. Lewis and Second Ofti- cer Jennings now alone remained on the burning ship, and they set to work to con- struct a life raft of hatch covers and boards. Just as they were about to cast themselves overheard the steamer Queen, of the Pacific coast came alongside and rescued them. The same boat picked up the mate and four seamen clnging to the overturned starboard boat. The Queen lay to all night in hope that some survivors of the disaster might see the lights. As morning dawned the miss ing boat was seen full of water with her side bare above the waves. In it lay seaman unconscious, the sole survivor of the mutin- ous boats crew that left the steamer. He was taken aboard the Queen but died about an hour after his rescue.
 The San Vicente was loaded with mer- ,handise of a highly combustible nature, such as oil and lumber. The hold was filled with empty lime barrels. The fire broke out somewhere in the hold and cannot be ac- counted for in any way by the rescued off cers and men. The vessel was valued at $30,O00, with no insurance. The names of the lost are John Grady, Charles Graham, Alfred Clark, Jack Wilcox, Smith, all seamen; John McArdle, Thomas Grenier, engineers; Lee Everett, purser; Jackson, cook; Nash, chief, and Olsen, second mate. The disaster created great excitement here.
